Chapter 43: Tenacity
After breakfast, the convoy was officially launched. From the small oasis to the road, there is no road to walk, all in the yellow sand, a distance of several kilometers, it also takes nearly ten minutes. The temperature also changed from cold in the early morning to a hint of dryness.
On the highway, about ten kilometers away from the settlement, you can see lively hunting scenes everywhere, one by one, groups of survivors who lack weapons, are doing everything possible to hunt zombies, running for a day's food. Destitute, only those who are lucky enough to be eligible to live in the central town, but more often than not, they can only stay in the refugee camp forever, struggling to survive.
Caravans of convoys are nothing new in the wasteland settlements. The caravan of thirty cars was barely of medium size, but the road was the envy of the poor hunters, who watched as the caravan passed.
In the settlement, there are many people who want to run a business, and in the news spread, everyone can realize that everything is scarce in the Grand Canyon settlement, as long as you can go, whether you can make money or not is secondary, but you can definitely exchange for a large amount of food. It's just that there is a lack of transportation and fierce weapons, and it is a zombie cloth, and the distance of more than 300 kilometers makes all the people who plan to move barefoot stop, and from another point of view, the business between the two settlements seems to be a game for the rich.
The mud smoke brought up by the caravan can be seen clearly even from a distance of several kilometers. For the convenience of the system, Zhou Yuanqiang sat in the passenger seat of the pickup truck at the head, driving Zhang Yixuan, and Qiu Guorui on the roof of the car, he played the role of an observer and commander. Like a telescope is a scarce commodity in this world, the advantage of being the enemy in the distance, so that its price is enough to compare with a light machine gun, and the one in Qiu Guorui's hand is, of course, brought by Zhou Yuanqiang from modern times.
In addition to being equipped with five telescopes, distributed in the front and rear of the convoy, the use of walkie-talkies was also brought to the end times by Zhou Yuanqiang.
Needless to say, these equipment are so precious for a caravan that is going to pass through a forest of zombies, enough for the caravan to detect signs of zombie activity early, and it can also be used through walkie-talkies, height to every angle of the convoy. It is no exaggeration to say that five telescopes and ten walkie-talkies are too expensive for even the toughest team in the settlement.
It was the high cost of these equipment that made Zhou Yuanqiang's time extremely mysterious, and everyone looked at him with curiosity and awe.
Zhou Yuanqiang didn't expect that this would add up, but it was just a few thousand yuan, which made this group of tough men easy to manage. Looking at their eyes one by one, Zhou Yuanqiang suddenly felt that if he climbed to the top and shouted, would he be like a cloud? Of course, this is just YY, they have a good impression of themselves, but they are sure, can they fool them into their own command, at least to complete this business, give proof, and let them really be convinced.
The boring itinerary was originally full of boredom, Zhang Yixuan concentrated on driving, Qiu Guorui observed the movement a few kilometers ahead on the roof of the car, Zhou Yuanqiang really couldn't find anyone to talk to. In particular, the air conditioner on the pickup truck has long been broken, and the sun has only come out for a short time, and it is already so hot that people can't stand it, and sitting on the pickup truck is like being roasted by fire.
On the side of the highway, a thin woman stared blankly at the advancing convoy, like this, Zhou Yuanqiang is also unprecedented, and there is nothing curious, many women who have no support, they will also join the murderous corpse hunting team.
But the next moment, the thin woman, who was lame, suddenly crossed the road.
Zhang Yixuan's driving skills came out of the special forces, and his reaction ability was not covered, and in a piercing brake sound, the pickup truck stopped abruptly. The whole team has walkie-talkies, the distance between each car is 30 meters, and the speed of the car is not fast, and the sudden braking does not lead to any accidents.
This thin woman is very smart, she knows the cruelty of the last days, if she encounters some murderous people, she will shoot herself directly, so when Zhou Yuanqiang and they have not reacted, she is already shouting: "Don't shoot, don't shoot, I'm useful to you." ”
Ren Xinyun has long figured out that in this world, useless people can only be eliminated by the society, and only the use of value is the only condition for survival.
In this case, anyone will have a fire in their stomachs, and Zhou Yuanqiang is no exception, but when he heard what the other party said, Zhou Yuanqiang laughed, looked at the woman who walked to the edge of the passenger seat, and said, "Oh? Are you useful to us? Don't know what a useful way to do it? ”
Ren Xinyun said very seriously: "I know that you must be a caravan from Yunzhi to the Grand Canyon settlement, I used to be a tourist guide in Qingyuan City, and the route is from Qingyuan City to the Grand Canyon Farm. I grew up in a small village on the edge of the Grand Canyon. She quickly pointed out this, and then immediately continued: "The road leading from here to the Grand Canyon has been destroyed, and if you follow the road, it will take at least three to four days to reach the Grand Canyon, and it is very dangerous, but I know that there is a shorter dirt road, the number of zombies is small, and the distance will be shortened, and you can reach the Grand Canyon settlement in two days." ”
Zhou Yuanqiang frowned slightly, and said a little strangely: "What do you mean?" ”
Ren Xinyun stared at Zhou Yuanqiang, biting her chapped lip and said, "As long as you are willing to take me to the Grand Canyon settlement, I will show you the way," she looked at the long line of cars and said, "This is not difficult for you to bring one more person." ”
Zhou Yuanqiang looked at Qiu Guorui, Qiu Guorui only thought about it for a moment, but nodded his head. In terms of gain and giving, it is really disproportionate. A shortcut, and you will face fewer zombies, save more time, this is undoubtedly what everyone wants, at least your risk will be minimized, and with good luck, it is not impossible to run back and forth smoothly.
The pickup truck is a hatchback, and there is a row of seats behind the passenger seat, Zhou Yuanqiang stretched out his hand to open the door and said, "Get in the car, we still have to hurry." ”
Seeing the success, Ren Xinyun breathed a sigh of relief, dragged the injured thigh, got on the pickup with difficulty, showed a smile at Zhou Yuanqiang, and said, "Thank you." ”
Ren Xinyun's face was black and yellow, with a thick layer of dust, his hair was messy, scattered over his shoulders, and his clothes were a little tattered, and he could see the exposed skin inside. It may be the cause of the red-hot skin, a bit of a wheat type. Looking at her black and slippery, I really can't tell what she looks like, what she looks like. However, this is not what Zhou Yuanqiang needs to care about, he glanced at Ren Xinyun's injured and pus-damaged thigh, and said, "This should be a bullet wound, right?" ”
Ren Xinyun grinned, showing her white teeth, "I stopped the convoy a few times, and once I was unlucky, I ran into an unreasonable person and was shot by them, but fortunately I didn't kill him, I just opened a hole in my thigh." ”
It seems that Ren Xinyun said it easily, but Zhou Yuanqiang knew that there were not many reasonable people in the last days of the world, and it was easy for someone to kill Ren Xinyun like this, abandon the corpse on the road, and become a lunch for the zombies in vain. But Zhou Yuanqiang is even more strange, Ren Xinyun is very valuable, why don't others understand?
Zhou Yuanqiang asked this question, Ren Xinyun smiled bitterly, and said, "I don't know if you believe it?" I didn't even have a chance to speak, and they blasted me away. After my thigh injury, I also knew that it would be difficult to survive in this world, so I hoped that I could try my luck and find a caravan that believed in me and let them piggyback on it. ”
What Ren Xinyun said is not an exaggeration, like being injured and lacking medicine, the wound is easy to deteriorate in this weather and lose the entire thigh. If the thighs are not sawed off, they can be life-threatening. In the last days, no one will pity you, and if you die, you will die, at most you will increase the number of cripples in the refugee camp.
"The Grand Canyon settlement, I don't think it's necessarily a paradise, even if you go anywhere, with your current situation, can you ......?"
Ren Xinyun looked very plain and said: "I know that the Grand Canyon is not a paradise, there is no paradise in this world, my parents always talk about falling leaves and returning to their roots, I just want to die in my hometown, in the small village where I live." ”
The other party has a cold and flat look in despair, but in Zhou Yuanqiang's eyes, it represents the unwillingness of life and the fact that he has to surrender to the cruel reality.
